Both B5 and DS9 had bars on station, but have and space stations have a fast food restaurant?
Wall-E had people ordering liquid fast food on their iPads and having it immediately delivered by drone. So fast food on a space station, but not a conventional restaurant experience i guess.
Futurama has Fishy Joe’s. Other than the episode with the Popplers, I’ve only seen it as a space station in the background of some scenes.
There are food kiosks on the Promenade on DS9.
The replimat?
I seem to remember a scene in Babylon 5 where Vir got sick eating at a place that sounded like a rebranded McDonalds. Londo was chastising him saying you know Centauri stomachs can’t handle fast food. I wish I had time to rewatch that show.
The Minbari fast food restaurant in brown sector named McBari’s with the golden head bone. S5E14
ISS orbits at ~7.66km/s, so technically any pictured food up there can be considered fast food.
All food is fast food if your frame of reference is the galactic center
And we’re all orbiting the center of the Milky Way at 220km/s. Fast food for everyone!
Does that count? :)
It’s rare to come across a fellow Chicken Invaders fan
There are 2.5 million franchises of Monolith Burger in Space Quest lore! https://spacequest.fandom.com/wiki/Monolith_Burger
I think the mess hall with a food replicator is as close as you’re going to find.
What do you think the function is of a fast food restaurant in a society with no money and instant food machines.
This is of course with Earth in mind. I have no doubt there are fast food places on Ferenginar.
There is a jumja kiosk on the DS9 promenade. It also had a bunch of different restaurants. Klingon and Bajoran are the two i remember off the top of my head.
The Klingon restaurant on DS9 was more of a sit-down restaurant IIRC
Yes but all Klingon food is fast food since it’s served live.
If Klingon food is too strong for you, perhaps we could get one of the females to breast feed you.
Only if it’s Grilka.
It’s five-star, not fast food, but there’s Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, which serves a delicious Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Don’t let the five-stars scare you off:
All you have to do is deposit one penny in a savings account in your own era, and when you arrive at the End of Time the operation of compound interest means that the fabulous cost of your meal has been paid for. (Many claim that this is not merely impossible, but clearly insane.)
This is why the advertising executives of the star system of Bastablon came up with this slogan: "If you’ve done six impossible things this morning, why not round it off with breakfast at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
Does the Axiom on Wall-E count as a space station?
There a vending machine on the Mars base in For All Mankind.
Doctor who (2005) s01e07 - Kronkburgers on Satellite 5 in the opening scenes.
Was going to say with all of the episode of Dr. Who, it had to be in one of them.
That one is difficult because in star trek they had replicators that could make any food instantly. I’ve never actually watch B5, so can’t speak on that, but at least in the star trek universe, fast food would be pointless unless it was in the Delta or Gamma quadrants because it was never spoken about with the residents there. Good question though
Voyager mentioned several times that replicator technology was not widely known in the Delta quadrant. They had Neelix cooking slow food to save on replicator energy usage. There were plot points of possible technology trade with the Kazon and others.
